The Game -------- Pinball is not only a superb simulation, but allows you to modify every element of the table design, and even create your own table layouts from scratch.

Each coin will give one player five balls (For four players insert four coins). Press the N key once for each new player. The score of the current player is highlighted. Holding down both flipper keys will put the launcher back, and releasing the keys will eject the ball.

Pressing Q at this stage takes you back to the menu. Y takes you into the layout modification screen where you can move, add, and delete components. The instructions for this stage are explained by the text at the bottom of the screen. Create a New Layout ------------------- Press C from the main menu and you will be presented with a blank table where you can let your artistic skills run riot. Once again the instructions are shown via the text at the bottom of the screen. N.B. When creating a new layout, you will erase the existing table layout, and will have to reload to get back to it.
